Alzheimer associations are a central component in how we assist people with dementia and their carers. Originally, these associations were created for three reasons:

to provide much needed information on Alzheimer’s disease

to provide support for carers and to provide them with the possibility to exchange information and experiences

to raise awareness in order to ensure that people are diagnosed properly and promptly.

Over time, the associations have grown considerably, both in the size of each organisation but also in terms of the number of national associations which now exist. As the organisations grew, so did their work mandate which extended to include campaigns for particular issues as well as policy work.

As of November 2016, Alzheimer Europe has 39 member associations from 34 countries. News from our members can be found here.
